I looked at transmasc resources but couldn't find anything, so, do you know any shapewear type things that would decrease hip size/slim my thighs to make them more masculine as apart from my height it's my main problem with passing. Thanks :)

Compression shorts like these can slim your thighs. Here’s a post about that. You can also get more sports type ones, if you need to have something more discreet. You can’t decrease your hip size because hips are bones and you can’t smush up your bones, y’know?

However, I personally would think that thigh size doesn’t make or break passing. I think that it’s something you may notice about yourself, and that makes you feel dysphoric, but it’s one of the things that other people don’t tend to focus on. If you’re not passing, it probably isn’t your thigh size that is preventing you from doing so.

Peecock Height Increase Insole type of things can help you appear a bit taller, besides wearing shoes with thick soles.
